Solution Overview

Problem

Dasatinib monohydrate has poor solubility in aqueous mediums, limiting its bioavailability and the routes of administration, and existing salts are unsuitable for pharmaceutical applications due to morphological uniformity and stability issues, making them challenging for industrial-scale production.

Innovation Solution

Development of new salts of dasatinib, specifically cyclamic acid, hydrogen bromide, methane sulfonic acid, and p-toluenesulfonic acid salts, which exhibit improved solubility, stability, and morphological uniformity, including anhydrous and hydrated forms, to enhance bioavailability and suitability for pharmaceutical formulations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If dasatinib monohydrate is used, then the compound has adequate chemical stability, but it exhibits poor solubility in aqueous mediums limiting bioavailability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechemical stabilityVSAvoidsolubility in aqueous medium
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by converting dasatinib monohydrate into different salt forms (hydrochloride, sulfate, nitrate, phosphate, acetate, propionate, benzoate, tosylate, mesylate, trifluoroacetate, oxalate, and fumarate salts). Each salt form has different solubility characteristics while maintaining the core dasatinib structure, thereby improving aqueous solubility without sacrificing chemical stability. The salt formation process changes the chemical parameters of the compound to achieve better bioavailability.

Inventive Principle:

2Quantity of substance

If existing dasatinib salts are used, then some solubility improvement is achieved, but they exhibit morphological uniformity and stability issues unsuitable for pharmaceutical applications

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesolubilityVSAvoidmorphological uniformity and stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the problematic mechanical/crystalline structure of existing salts with newly formulated salts that have superior morphological properties. By systematically testing and selecting from multiple salt forms, the invention identifies salts that provide both improved solubility and adequate morphological uniformity, replacing the inadequate existing salt forms with optimized alternatives suitable for pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Reliability

If dasatinib base monohydrate is used, then the compound maintains chemical stability, but its poor solubility restricts routes of administration and pharmaceutical formulation preparation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechemical stabilityVSAvoidroutes of administration and formulation preparation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enhances the versatility of dasatinib by creating multiple salt forms that can accommodate different pharmaceutical formulation requirements and routes of administration. The diverse salt forms (hydrochloride, sulfate, nitrate, phosphate, acetate, propionate, benzoate, tosylate, mesylate, trifluoroacetate, oxalate, and fumarate salts) provide universal applicability across different administration routes (oral, parenteral, topical) and formulation types, while each maintains the necessary chemical stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
